Description
At the University of Alaska Fairbanks, instructional designers from the Center for Teaching and Learning made an effort to build faculty confidence by giving hands-on experience with AI tools, offering alternative ways to assess students, and more importantly creating a space where instructors who care about teaching and learning can explore what will work in this new AI landscape. This session shares specific lessons from a series of publications, workshops and committee work at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The common thread through the year was that faculty were treated with respect and an understanding that changing the particulars of assessment is disruptive and difficult.
